Generally and Specifically - Who
Apr. 12th, 2010 06:41 pmYou can tell it's still the school holidays, because I have time to write stuff like this!
Prompted by some comments and discussions I’ve been having here over the last couple of days, and by the number of reaction posts I’ve seen that are bemoaning the direction that DW is now taking (after only two episodes!), I had a few thoughts that I wanted to jot down as a result.
I try to be very careful about what I say here, because I know that fandom can be a dangerous place at times. It’s why I tend to steer fairly clear most of the time and am posting stuff like this at my own LJ rather than at one of the comms. I hope people will pick up on it and read it anyway, but that anyone who comments will respect the fact that this is MY journal and as such contains my opinions. I hope I never present anything I put here as anything other than my own opinion, and I’m perfectly happy for people to put points of view that don’t agree with mine and to have a friendly discussion with them.
Here, then, are a bunch of thinky-thoughts about the show in general and one particular thing that is annoying me.
( you can please some of the people some of the time… )
( and now to the specifics )
So there ya go. Feel free to agree or disagree with me - I don't mind either way as long as we can all play nice!
